Due to several incidents at past shows, we are now implementing a rule that each artist will need a bloodborne pathogens certificate. The safety of clients and show staff are of
utmost importance and with recent incidents such as used needles in garbage cans, improper set-ups and cross contamination issues, we will now require each artist to present a
certificate to be considered and to register.
Going forward the application process will require and note information from each artist for an accepted Bloodborne Pathogens course, and only artists with acceptable certificates
will be permitted.
Acceptable certificates include:
Certificates must be within 2 years of the show date and be from a tattoo specific course.
(Workplace/Worksite bloodborne/National Health & Safety are courses that are not specifically directed to the body art
& modification industry - we will accept them ONLY for 2025 ).
